Applications
WHP's first application of the MLC flywheel technology was in the highly competitive and extremely harsh environment of Formula One racing. Through development of a flywheel for Williams F1’s Kinetic Energy Recovery System, WHP has proved its world-class engineering capabilities in the composite flywheel field as well as radically improving aspects of the technology in the process.
Building on the Formula One project, the company is now making the technology available to meet the high-power energy storage needs in a variety of mobile and stationary applications including hybrid passenger vehicles, hybrid buses, hybrid construction & mining vehicles, electric trains, trams, ships and intermittent renewable energy generation & smart grid infrastructure.
Mobile
The robust, compact, lightweight energy storage system developed for the extreme environment of Grand Prix racing is now being made available for a wide variety of mobile applications.
Stationary
The high continuous power capability, excellent efficiency and extremely long life make large MLC flywheels highly suitable for a variety of stationary applications.
